SUMMARY:The Feather and the Shadow (Glass Art)
DESCRIPTION:20 - 27 August, 2011 | Monday – Saturday: 11:00 – 19:0
 0 | inter@thavibuThe Feather and the Shadow is an exhibition of drill 
 engraved images on glass created by Dominic Fondé. The images depict 
 a variety of birds both roosting and in flight. Birds and feathers hav
 e long held a fascination for Dominic; he often uses them in his work 
 as metaphors for communication, the search for new ideas and reflectio
 ns on modern life. The work in this exhibition makes particular use of
  the fact that glass is transparent, allowing the engraved lines to cr
 eate shadows that fall on the wall. The eye reads the shadow image rat
 her than the actual engraved image. The result is a modern take on a p
 rocess with a long and venerable history.Drill engraving is a relative
 ly modern engraving technique. A diamond tipped burr is placed inside 
 a small pen sized drill, roughly equivalent to a dentist drill and use
 d to incise lines, patterns and even texts onto any glass surface. As 
 the engraved line is always white on a clear background traditional va
 lues of light and shade become inverted. Dominic has been experimentin
 g with lighting conditions used to cast shadows from the engraving. Th
 e result is a thoroughly modern interpretation of engraving. As part 
 of The Feather and Shadow he will present a talk and a demonstration o
 f glass engraving to visitors to the Gallery. Exact date and time to b
 e announced later – please contact the gallery for details.Dominic F
 ondé is a professional glass artist who has been working with blown a
